Re: buffer overflow in nslookup?

If your nslookup's main.c includes:

    sscanf(string, " %s", host);        /* removes white space */

you can find the same in dig.c, and a patch for dig, removing that and
some other problems, at http://www.nrw.net/uwe/dig-8.1.2.patch

Needless to say i told bind-bugs () isc org more then two months ago about
the problems in nslookup and dig, and never got a reply.
